Disk Utility doesn't show unallocated space on disk

The disk is 2TB SSD. I allocated 1.45TB in exFAT on my Windows PC, and this partition is available on Mac. Rest space isn't showing by Apple Disk Utility. I am expecting to be able to allocate rest space into APFS partition (will be used for Time Machine backups).

*my system language is Ukrainian, 'ТБ' is 'TB' 🙂

Disk utility minimum size for a partition is much higher than the amount of data there is on it I am trying to partition the drive, and I am only using 201/500 Gb of storage, but in disk utility it only allows me to access around 10 Gb to add to a new partition. It says the minum size ism 484 Gb. Is there any way to change this?

external SSD won't show free'd up space (after emptying bin) Hi All, I have an external SSD (4TB Sandisk Extreme NVMe, via USB-C) and it won't show free'd up space after I trash files and empty the bin. I just deleted 500GB, and there is no change to indicated free space. No change to this behaviour after running Disk First Aid. The only way I can free up space is to format the drive (had to do this once already), but this time I've still got 3.5TB on it, and nowhere to move that data, so now I need it to act as it should. M1 Mini, running Monterey 12.4. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Chas

Okay guys, I reallocated everything using Disk Utility and it worked. Sad Windows and MacOS do the same idea thing differently...
